You have to: - backup your database - backup your hosting files The two go hand in hand, especially when we're talking about people attacking your site. Hackers often times will insert code in your actual WordPress files, which have nothing to do with your database; therefore, a simple database restore will not fix your problem. To automate the backup process of your hosting files, there's a really cool program out there called SyncBackSE which can do this for you.

Google automatically keeps them for 30 days and then deletes them. No additional work on your part is necessary. I set up Google mail to just delete the backups.

I suggest that, just create a Gmail account specially made for just your blog's backup which will give you 7GB of space. My average backup file size is around 800kb so, that's about 8000 unique backups! I love the WP-DB Backup plugin.
